Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S9900w and RX10 III.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S9900w using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 III will produce extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S9900w will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
